Hello there, movie enthusiasts!

Remember the times when we used to talk about a cool-sounding movie based on the hit , Borderlands? From passing mentions to detailed breakdowns, this movie has been on our radar for ages, all thanks to its acclaimed director, Eli Roth and a star-studded cast featuring the likes of Cate Blanchett and Kevin Hart.

Known for his unique filmmaking , Roth took up this promising project, sparking massive excitement among audiences worldwide. Blanchett embracing her first action heroine role as Lilith added a whole new level of intrigue. Hart, synonymous with roles, portraying the heroic Roland added to the film’s appeal. And let’s not forget the addition of Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis. With a rich storyline, high budget production, and impressive production design, Borderlands looked like a surefire win.

However, things haven’t been as smooth as expected folks. Like a stubborn car struggling to start, Borderlands has encountered delay after delay.

Tim Miller, the remarkable director behind Deadpool, reportedly took over the director’s chair while Roth focused on another movie, .

Not all delay is bad, right? Just more time to perfect a potentially amazing flick. Yet, with a whopping budget around $120 million, Borderlands’ delayed release is viewed as a serious summer gamble.

This is where things get a bit glum, movie . Box Office Pro forecasts the movie’s opening earnings to tumble somewhere in the $10-20 million range. My gut feeling tells me we can expect a more probable sum of $15 million. For a would-be franchise starter, it’s not exactly the dazzling performance we were hoping for.

While Borderlands potentially teeters towards dips disappointment, other films don’t seem to have trouble stacking dollars. Deadpool & Wolverine, our box office leaders, are expected to pull in a hefty $40 million during the opening weekend, securing their top spot seamlessly.

Book adaptation It Ends With Us, featuring Blake Lively, is also predicted to do well, with hopes of scooping up to $35 million. With its massive fanbase, this film could replicate the success of Where the Crawdads Sing.

Here’s a quick rundown of my predictions:

– Deadpool & Wolverine: $40 million
– It Ends With Us: $35 million
– Borderlands: $15 million
– Twisters: $12 million
– Trap: $7 million

There it is folks. Now it’s your turn. Borderlands could turn tables at the box office? Drop your thoughts below! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for this video game adaptation.
